Kept postponing this review because it keeps getting longer😓. PS: drinks are pretty good across the board as well.

Grilled Brie Sandwich (95k) ⭐️9.5/10
My favourite menu in Levant. Brie and apple are tried and true pairing but the addition of sweet-sour blueberry jam helped elevate the sandwich even more. Very nice sweet-savoury sandwich.

French Toast (66k) ⭐️9/10
The best french toast in town for me. Love how moist the brioche was in combination with the mascarpone and berry compote. Minus 0.5 cause sometimes they can get a bit inconsistent (strawberry vs raspberry, tons or very little mascarpone, brioche too wet/mushy, etc.).

Croque Madame (98k) 7.5/10
Brioche was very soft and buttery. Generous bechamel and cheese balanced with mustard and tomato. Pork ham was yummy. Recommend for sharing as flavour can get monotone after a while .

Monte cristo (89k) 8/10
Egg dipped pan fried brioche with cheddar and bresaola. A more savoury take (can it still be called monte cristo?) vs GDK/braud. There’s pickle and onion relish instead of berry jam and maple syrup.

Pear ⭐️(40k), Apple (40k), Lemon ⭐️(44k), and Fresh Blueberry (52k) Tart 8/10
Love the tarts’ crust; thin, sweet, buttery, and crunchy. I think they used almond flour cause I get some nutty flavour? Custard did not taste eggy and fruits were always fresh.

Mini Almond Croissant ⭐️(25), Mini Croissant (16), Mini Pain au Raisin (21), Pain Chocolat (32k) 9/10
Love how they have mini version. For me Levant has the best croissant texture in Jakarta. It’s very buttery, flaky, and chewy. Fillings are not the overflowing but still enough. Each flavour, be it chocolate or almond, taste authentic while not being too sweet.

Blackforest (68k) 8/10
Made with brandy, rich chocolate taste, fresh cream, and Amareno cherries, this cake had a nice bitter-sour-sweet balance without having too much cream. I feel like parents will love this as this taste like ‘kue jadul’.

Rustic Sourdough (57k) 9/10
A constant repurchase for me. Strong crust, nice open crumbs, and has that characteristic sourness. The mix of rye added nice nuttiness to the sourdough.

Baguette (24k) 8/10
Nice crust with chewy and soft interior. Heat it up in air fryer/oven for better crunch.

Pizza Mushroom and Smoked Beef(42k/slice) 6.5/10
Generous amount of toppings and cheese and the slice is quite big. Just taste average to me. Would recommend getting other menu over this. The smoked beef>mushroom.

Onion Pear Blue Cheese Quiche (75k) 6.5/10
Quiche had great texture, firm but still slightly jiggly. Am not a fan of quiche since it can be too heavy but this one is not bad.

Tempat brunch baru di QBIG BSD. Ambiance cozy dan cocok untuk chilling down with friends. Ada live musicnya juga di malam hari. Price is a bit high tapi porsinya besar. Oh iya infonya kedepannya mereka juga akan buka untuk breakfast dan punya pastry sendiri guys😆.

Smoked Atlantic Salmon Benedict (125k)
2 roti sourdough yang ditoast dan dikasih bayam, smoked salmon, dan poached egg. Poached eggnya runny dan hollandaisenya enak. Smoked salmonnya juga ga amis.

Fish and Chips (90k)
Kaget pas ini keluar karena ukurannya gede banget (even though masuk light bites). Ikannya garing dan aoilinya ga eneg. Highlightnya chips (katanya ini chipsnya HW hahaha) yang crunchy and flavourful.

Aglio Alio Con Pollo (135k)
Classic pasta with chili, parsley, dan garlic. Diatasnya ada ayam sebagai protein. Ada pedas sedikit tapi very mild. Overall enak tapi a bit oily.

Carbonara (135k)
Carbonara tradisional style with egg, parmesan, and blackpepper. Dapat banyak bacon juga. I like this more than the aglio alio karena creamy.

Tiramisu Espresso Drip (60k)
Dessert yang instagramable. Jadi espresso panas akan dituang ke atas coklat dan drip ke tiramisunya. Rasanya creamy and light, not too sweet juga. Saran jangan langsung dituang semua espressonya karena can be too bitter.

One of my favourite brunch spot for both the foods and ambience. The only downside is their exorbitant valet fees lol. Recommend to arrive at around 11ish during weekend if you want to try both their weekend brunch and regular menu (menu changes at 12 pm).

Roasted Cauliflower Steak (85k) 9/10
My repeat order each time in Acta. Perfectly roasted cauliflower alongside creamy thick cashew puree, with cucumber pickle to provide some acidity. Love the crunch from the crispy kale, roasted cashew, and pomegranate. The only con was how oily they can be. Give it a try even if you are not vegan or dislike veggies hehehe.

Tofu Poke Bowl (85k) 8.5/10
Why do I feel like Acta vegan menu>regular menu🧐? This might be the best plant based bowl I’ve tried in Jakarta, with grilled tofu, miso grilled corn, avocado, marinated cherry tomato, pickled cucumber, nori crackers, and sesame dressing.

Foie Gras Toast (325k) 7/10
If you love foie gras, I think you’ll love this. It is pricy for the small size, but foie gras was quite thick and well seared. The caramelised apple jam, truffle oil, and balsamic reduction worked well together.

Yuzu Honey Kakigori (105k) 7.5/10
Super huge kakigori that’s super refreshing from the zesty yuzu, lime and citrus. The honey glaze and honeycomb also added nice sweetness. Eating it can be a hassle though so ask for extra bowls to mix the sauce and toppings evenly.

Bread Butter Pudding (95k) 7/10
Typical bread pudding with apple jam and almond butter on top. Butter was very fragrant. Kudos for the rum raisin ice cream as well, not typically a fan but this one had pretty strong rum.

74% Dark Chocolate Brownie (85k) 5.5/10
Looks really fancy and pretty but tasted just like any other brownies (and it’s kind of hard too) with some crunch from the walnut. Chocolate chantilly and vanilla ice cream tasted just okay as well.

🐈Worth to try

Brioche French Toast (65k) 9/10
Since the babka french toast is gone I ended up ordering this. I can see why so many people raved about it, the brioche had nice crisp exterior and warm fluffy interior.
Also love how affordable they are vs french toast from other places (*ehmm chicory*). Generous amount of berries, granola, and bananas as well. Only available at Pangpol branch.

Dirty Chai (55k) 8.5/10
It’s rare to find places serving chai in Indonesia, but Beau’s particularly good. Nice fragrant spices and not too milky.

Israeli Shakshuka (95k) 6/10
Tomato was not punchy enough and shakshuka was missing that middle eastern spices. Overall I felt like it’s a watered down version of what a shakshuka should be. I did like the addition of chickpeas though.

Ouef Royale (105k) 5/10
Pretty sure they used the same exact brioche as the french toast but this was very, very tough to cut and chew. My friend ended up cutting off the outer layer. Hollandaise was bland and worst of all the eggs were overcooked to the point the egg whites were rubbery.

Extra review about their baked goods:
Softserve (50k) 7.5/10
Reminds me of AW’s swirl but more premium😅? Not that creamy and sweet, a plus for me as I was able to finish the entire thing. Got the chocolate x vanilla but strongly prefer the chocolate only option.

Rustic Sourdough (55k) 5/10
My least favourite thing from beau. I like my sourdough very chewy and sour, so this was too similar to ordinary bread for my taste. Good choice if you dislike traditional sourdough though.

Red Velvet (10/10)
My favourite cake in Indonesia. Consistent quality over the years with the taste never changing. I was once gifted this cake and ate 4 slices of this cake in one sitting. Balanced cream cheese to cake ratio and very generous amount of crunchy nougat.

Butterman’s croissants are one of my favourites in Bali and based on my visits here, the quality remains consistent across the branches. So far everything has been above average so it’s definitely becoming one of my go to pastries brand. Croissant dough was flaky, buttery, and crispy even when they don’t reheat the croissant.

Framboisine (70k) 8.5/10
If you’ve tried Butterman’s pistachio roll, than you know that the raspberry flavour is much more dominant compared to the pistachio cream. This is for those that like more pronounced pistachio component. The pistachio butter cream and hazelnut dacquoise are pretty much at the forefront, with raspberry giving it a slight hint of tartness. An unexpected but welcome finding from Butterman.

Almond Croissant (40k) 8/10
Pretty much my go to pastry order. Love how rich and creamy the frangipane is. The almond slices on top added nice crunch and additional sweetness as well.

Ham Cheese Allumette (58k) 8/10
Never been a savoury gal but this one exceeded my expectation. Very rich and gurih in flavour without being too overwhelming.

Black Truffle Eggy Jar (55k) 7/10
Like eating more liquified form of creamed spinach. The yolk made it super rich. Really good sourdough as well but got too creamy by the end.

Chicken katsu curry (55k) in small size. Despite being a small, this was enough for 2 people. Katsu itself was standard (pretty thin), wish it was thicker and juicier, however the sauce is what makes this dish special. Darker and richer than most katsu curry here, there’s almost an undertone of sourness to it with good amount of spices.

Been wanting to try Javanegra for a while and was really happy that they exceeded my expectations, will be back for their jamon and steak.

Jamon Iberico Bellota (550k) 9/10
Best iberico in town, sweet and salty, went well together with the fresh tomato on the bread. Would have loved more of the garlic tomato bruschetta though.

Wagyu Ribeye Futari MB9+ (1.845k for 410g) 9.5/10
The only place I found in Jakarta that is willing to serve blue steak (extra rare steak). Definitely one of the most high quality meat you can get in Jakarta, super juicy and melts in your mouth. Requires no seasonings but gotta say their chimichurri sauce was amazing.

Black Ink Paella 1/2 (600k) 7/10
Extremely flavorful with strong seafood punch. Generous amount of seafood on top as well (the crunchy calamari was very good). Sadly it was too wet for my taste with no soccarat despite specifically requesting for it.

King Cobia Fish (250k) 5/10
The most ‘average’ out of the bunch. Fish and clams were fresh yet lacked flavour (even with the pesto sauce).

Sashimi Moriawase (250k)⭐️8.5/10
The salmon, kanpachi, and hotate slices were all thick and fresh. Could tell their wasabi was grated fresh as well.

Temari Sushi Set (200k) 6/10
Really pretty presentation but the sashimi moriawase is a better value for money imo. The toppings on this one were pretty minimal.

Wagyu Tsukune (80k)⭐️8/10
Juicy wagyu dipped in egg yolk. Yummy but a tad rich for my palate.

Mochi Gyuniku Maki (38k)⭐️8/10
Balanced ratio of mochi and beef. My first time trying this combination but it was great.

Tori Karaage Zangi (98k) 7/10
Karaage was super crunchy. You got only 4/5 pieces but each was super plump and juicy.

Shiratama Shio Ice (90k) ⭐️ 7.5/10
Sweet-salty ice cream with chewy mochi. Ice cream melt super quickly so you had to finish it quickly. Portion is very small though.

Bonjiri (24k), Yagen Nankotsu/Cartilage (24k), and Tako Wasabi (58k)
My friend ordered these. Tldr he didn’t recommend the yagen but liked the other two

Been a fan of their baked goods since PO days. Happy to see them grow and have their offline store. Also took home their sourdough (one of my fav in Indo) and it was consistent with their other branches’ quality.

Banana Nutella Croissant (34k) 9/10
Having tried multiple croissants from Noolstrala, this one beat all of them and became my favourite. Generous fillings and the crispy top layer were so delish I got another one for takeaways.

Mushroom Toastie (65k) 8/10
My friend got this menu for the third time here and I could see why. Deceptively simple in presentation, it nonetheless shone through with the eggs and mushroom highlighting how good their sourdough was.

Nutella Bomb Toast (65k) 7/10
Fluffly, buttery brioche filled with nutella and topped with two scoops of ice cream plus maple syrup🥰. Good option if you are craving something very sweet. Probably more of a special occasion/craving order though since it was very decadent.
